Incuron is a private clinical-stage company that develops a novel class of synthetic small molecules, Curaxins, with a unique multi-targeted mechanism of antitumor activity. These chromatin damaging agents interfere with histone/DNA binding causing decondensation of chromatin in tumor cells, functional inactivation of histone chaperone FACT, and simultaneous effect on a set of universal previously undruggable targets, leading to inhibition of pro-cancer transcriptional factors, MYC, NF-kB, HIF1a, and HSF-1, and activation of the tumor suppressor p53, as well as induction of type I interferon response.
Key advantages of curaxins based on current preclinical and early clinical data include:
- novel mechanism of action that would bring the additional treatment option for advanced and relapsed tumors, as well as potential to overcome resistance to previous treatments;
- favorable pharmacology and manageable safety profiles;
- low potential for serious drug-drug interactions providing opportunities for combinatorial therapeutic regimens;
- broad activity in different tumor types that may open wider market opportunities;
- focused phase 2 clinical study program can establish faster clinical proof of concept and build toward accelerated regulatory approval.
Incuron owns a worldwide patent portfolio, including the composition of matter and therapeutic uses of the compounds.
